Re: [ECS] 4.2 issues

The CM11A's about 2 years old.  It's on all events, no matter if it's a dim/bright or
on/off, and it's anything from a light to a motion sensor to a contact closure.  As
long as it runs through the receiver, it's lagged.  I'm going to run 3.3 and see if
it goes back to the normal speed, since nothing's changed.  I'll let you know what happens.

the icons in groups, everything seems to work fine, but using a PLC remote it has a
definite lag, sometimes up to 5-10 seconds.  I haven't changed anything in the config,
just upgraded ECS.

living room lights are set to go to either 96% or 0%.  Sometimes a click will stop somewhere
in between.  It's sporadic and doesn't seem to be dependent on the wrong percentage
it stops on.

 After the upgrade, the announcement comes AFTER the pause.  Odd.
